Husbands diagnosis

Hi

Sorry to hear about your husbands diagnosis 

I'm surprised his team haven't mentioned fitting a nasal feeding tube or a rig in his stomach so that he can have fluids and protein feeds, that's what they did with my husband, maybe they will talk about it at his next meeting but if they don't it might be worth you mentioning it 

Best wishes 

Jenny 

Hope things go well for him. 

Hi, I've just been confirmed as having cancer of oesophagus at the bottom where it enters the stomach and have similar problems, however I find that foods like pan o chocolate and McCoys crisps, cheddar and muller rice pots if eaten slowly seem to go down easier than liquidised mulch. Dietician said it's probably due to the high fat level. Salmon and mash with brocoli also digest reasonably well. I'm waiting to see MDT this week for my care plan. Hope this helps your husband

Cheddars not cheddar sorry

My husband has just been diagnosed too and is in the same boat. I feel so useless. Want to help him so much but don’t know what to do and trying not to smother him. It’s heartbreaking. 

Hope your meeting today is able to deliver a treatment plan

We found out today that it has spread to his liver so is incurable . He is 38 years old and we have 2 young children. How is this fair

I am so sorry to hear this. It’s not fair, especially with someone so young. This is such a cruel disease!!

So sorry to hear. It truly isn’t fair! may your health care professionals do their best and may his body do it’s best during this challenge!
